Corrections

November 10, 1999

* A story on Friday's front page about Sentara dropping its Medicare HMO incorrectly reported that people in the plan would have to start paying $45.50 a month in premiums for the part of Medicare that pays for doctor visits and outpatient hospital services. In fact, members of the Sentara plan already pay $45.50, in addition to $42 a month for the HMO's services. As a result of that error, an example of one member's monthly payment was also incorrect. After losing the HMO, the member will have to pay as much as $100 a month in supplemental plan premiums, depending on the plan he or she selects.

* A headline on Tuesday's front page, "Sen. McCain bringing campaign to Peninsula," was incorrect. McCain came to Chesapeake to speak to the Hampton Roads Council of the Navy League; he did not come to the Peninsula.

* A list on page C2 of Tuesday's paper incorrectly stated Hampton residents would have their recyclables picked up today instead of Thursday because of the Veterans' Day holiday. Recycled goods will be picked up Thursday as normally scheduled. Garbage normally collected Thursday will be collected today.
